Greg Biffle
Team: Roush Racing
Car: No. 16
Sponsor: Grainger
Owner: Jack Roush
Driver: Greg Biffle
Crew Chief: Doug Richert

Greg Biffle on racing at New Hampshire:
"We had a really strong run at New Hampshire early this year and I'd like to improve upon that this weekend. The track is basically flat, which poses a challenge to the driver and crew. You've got to get the car to rotate in the center of the corner and you need lots of forward bite exiting so you can get up to speed on the long straightaways. If the car is pushing it makes for a really long day.

"The Grainger Team has really come around the second half of the season and I'm excited about the final 10 races. We've improved on all aspects of our program and it's starting to show in qualifying, during the race and on pit road. We've got a few points to make up in the rookie standings, but I feel confident we're going to put up a strong fight down the stretch."

Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at New Hampshire:
"New Hampshire is similar to Richmond or Martinsville, meaning you've got to have a good turning race car that has plenty of forward bite. Other than that, track position means a lot at New Hampshire because it's hard to pass, so you've got to qualify well and keep yourself in contention with solid pit stops and good pit strategy."
